Astrophysical Studies on Space Satellite
(TUS Experiment)

Leader:   L.G. Tkatchev

Scientific Programme:
The TUS space experiment has been proposed to address some of the most important astrophysical and particle physics problems. It is aimed to measure energy spectrum, composition and angular distribution of the Ultra High Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR) at E > 10 19 eV to study the region of Greisen-Zatsepin-Kusmin cutoff. The existing world statistics supposed to be increased 2-3 times during 3 years of data taking.
The detector allows the Extensive Air Shower events caused by UHECR neutrinos to be measured for the first time from the space orbit. The experiment is included in the Russian Program of Space Investigation and has to be designed, constructed, tested and launched to the space for data taking.

Expected main results in 2005:
